Fellow Daoist! That scoundrel has written a new book again.

A third visit to Jiguanshan!

The group returned to the familiar place. After hearing Zhu Wuyao's plan, their first reaction wasn't whether the method was feasible or not, but rather—

"You can actually tell fortunes?!"

"Hmm...Isn't the Star-Picking Tower all about divination?"

Zhu Wuyao asked back with some doubt.

Not to mention the Star-Picking Tower, there are even some fortune tellers setting up stalls on the roadside. Although most of them are just swindlers, there are always a few who have real skills.

"Ah Yao, tell me quickly, how did you get into Taoism?"

After some conversation, Zhu Wuyao suddenly realized that although the Zhaixing Tower taught Taoist methods and other common knowledge, it never had a special course to seriously teach people divination.

The "Starry Sky Myriad Phenomena Technique" that I practice can improve my cultivation level and increase my affinity with destiny, but it cannot teach everyone how to perform divination.

She thought that... after learning the immortal techniques of the Star-Picking Tower, everyone could immediately cast their own hexagrams.

"So, this was all self-taught?"

"Yes, I have observed that the divination methods of my fellow disciples are all different. I originally wanted to pick a few branches and chant 'go, don't go, go, don't go...' to use as my own method of divination, but unfortunately this method is not accurate."

Xu San'er, who was standing next to him, chimed in:

"Who says otherwise? Relying on divination to do things is not as good as relying on my own brain."

"That deal was obviously extremely risky. The divination insisted that I should pay, but after much hesitation, I didn't listen to it. Sure enough, that group ended up losing everything!"

Zhu Wuyao recalled for a moment.

When she used playing cards to tell fortunes, she didn't actually know how accurate her predictions were, until...

Until the brush was suspended in his dantian, whenever he cast a divination and could calculate the result, he knew in his heart that there was no error.

This feeling is extremely mysterious.

Previously, I hesitated to guess whether it was accurate or not.

Now, it's as clear as the facts, there's no need to question it at all.

This pen cannot be shared with outsiders; in a sense, it is one's trump card, but it is beyond one's control, probably due to one's low cultivation level.

"The art of divination involves fate and destiny, and is extremely mysterious. The cause and effect are far-reaching, and a single action can have far-reaching consequences. One must be very careful..."

Before he could finish speaking, Hua Yingting interrupted him:

"Ah Yao, why are you talking so cryptically? You're practically as cryptic as an elder instructor!"

Upon hearing this joke, Zhu Wuyao paused for a moment.

If she had just arrived in the cultivation world and someone had told her these things, she probably would have just taken it as the ramblings of an old-fashioned person and wouldn't have listened to a word of it.

Hey……

No, I seem to be lacking in resolve. Caution is necessary, but standing still is unacceptable!

She thought for a moment, summarized, and said:

"Having been tricked by fate once, you might just find your way to enlightenment."

To be honest, the beginning of my divination skills should be those three or four coins for a thin coffin.

From that day on, she could never bring herself to like this so-called "destiny".

Indeed, first impressions are very important.

Xu San'er kept pressing, "Am I just going to be played by fate? Does that mean I'm going to miss out on a golden opportunity that's right in front of me?"

Zhu Wuyao did not continue speaking.

I haven't gotten any of the important things done today yet!

She took the lead, walked to the foot of Rooster Crest Mountain, bowed with her hands clasped, and said:

"The mountain has a spirit, but people do not recognize it. I have offended you the first two times. Please do not take offense."

Seeing Zhu Wuyao's serious demeanor as he spoke with Jiguanshan, Hua Yingting and Xu San'er tried their best to maintain a proper attitude.

But this scene is just so awkward no matter how you look at it...

The two lowered their heads, trying not to laugh out loud, and circulated their spiritual energy to regulate their mindset.

Be serious, and have firm beliefs!

Zhu Wuyao continued, "Today I'm visiting the mountain, hoping to try my luck with divination to understand the cause of your troubles and help you resolve your difficulties."

"If you agree, please stay where you are and don't run around. We are about to start climbing the mountain."

Mountain:?

Zhu Wuyao looked at it and saw that the mountain hadn't run around, so it seemed that it had agreed to let him tell its fortune.

With the client's permission, the divination should be more accurate.

Unlike the previous two times, I won't be "unhappy" or "very unhappy".

At least we need to find the root of the problem before we can try to solve it and gain some goodwill.

"Mountain climbing!"

Zhu Wuyao waved his hand, his gaze resolute.

Hua Yingting coughed, his expression quite serious, as if he were going to visit a senior expert. Xu San'er did the same.

The three of them began climbing the mountain with solemn expressions.

This time, she planned to venture as far as possible into the depths. Along the way, Zhu Wuyao walked under the fruit trees, waiting for the wild fruits to fall and hit her on the head.

Who knows, that might be what Jiguanshan is going to give her?

No wild fruit fell along the way.

We encountered quite a few mountain spirits.

Whether Shan is happy or not is another matter, but Li, the urban management officer, is probably quite happy.

By the afternoon, Zhu Wuyao had not discovered anything that could trigger her divine sense. She looked up and felt somewhat worried.

If they continue onward, they might not be able to leave the mountain before nightfall, and the mountain spirits will become even more active. Although they have killed quite a few, they estimate that they can still catch several more waves.

"Try again."

Although Hua Yingting felt that this method was a bit outrageous, it couldn't hurt, and it would also be a good opportunity to kill mountain spirits and find white amber stones along the way.

Who knows, Ah Yao might bring a surprise?

Zhu Wuyao nodded. Along the way, the group had collected a lot of mountain spirits and encountered many herbs and mountain delicacies. However, considering that they needed the cooperation of Jiguanshan to tell its fortune, the latter only took a small portion of them.

Xu San'er felt heartbroken seeing this.

As we continued walking, the sky gradually darkened.

The group had killed a large number of mountain spirits and were all somewhat exhausted. Zhu Wuyao looked into the depths of the forest and realized that if they continued down, they might not make it out of the mountain in time.

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "How about we start today..."

“Tsk, tsk!”

Not far ahead, the chirping of baby sparrows could be heard.

Zhu Wuyao's eyes lit up. He stopped what he was about to say, took a few quick steps forward, and saw a baby bird that had fallen from its nest in the grass.

It can't fly yet.

It turns out that this time it wasn't foxtail grass or hazelnuts, but this little titmouse.

She softened her movements, placed the little sparrow in her palm, and activated her Sky-Gazing Technique.

"Clatter!"

...?

What is this? !

What does "哗啦啦" mean?

Hua Yingting helped to wipe away her own scent from the little sparrow so that its parents wouldn't disown it. Using her spiritual power, she lifted it and put it back in the nest. Zhu Wuyao then told them the three words she had just spoken.

I'm planning to brainstorm some ideas.

"The sound of the wind blowing through the trees?" Xu San'er asked.

"No! I think it's the sound of a river. Looking at the map, if you go down the mountain in that direction, you'll encounter a river that flows through you."

This guess makes sense, Zhu Wuyao said:

"Shall we continue today, or come back tomorrow?"

"Why not give it a try today? The river is flowing, and who knows what the situation might be tomorrow."

Having reached a consensus, the three changed direction and went down the mountain to find the river.
